"Essential for Leadership and Team Alignment"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I like using Hone for leadership and management training for our engineering team as it helps keep everyone's skills sharp and provides structured learning without having to organize everything ourselves. Hone is great for scaling leadership skills as the team grows and keeping distributed teams aligned on best practices, which keeps the skills consistent. The variety of topics offered, practical and actionable sessions, the interactive aspect where you get input from other people in similar roles, and the flexible schedule are aspects I find valuable. I'm really curious about the AI coach offering as it could be a game changer for individual development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I wish Hone would expand the catalog with more advanced topics for senior people. But overall, I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Engaging Sessions with Active Instructor and Students"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

Everyone in the session, from the instructor to the students, is highly engaged and consistently willing to participate throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I wish there were 30-minute sessions instead of only full-hour ones, because it can be difficult to set aside a full hour during my job when we’re constantly on the go. I’m also not as comfortable using Zoom since my workplace relies on Google products, but it’s still okay overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowering Leadership Training with Flexible Scheduling"
4/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I really enjoy the classes on Hone, especially the commitment portion that invites us to change our behavior to apply the lessons we've learned. The collaboration with other learners is something I find valuable as it pushes me outside of my comfort zone and allows me to hear perspectives I wouldn't otherwise hear. I love that we have access to so many classes and can schedule them for whenever it's convenient for us. The classes are the key service that encourages me to continue working with Hone. The numerous topics covered are very relevant to my work and help me to grow professionally in new ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I'd really just love to see more classes and maybe various class lengths to better fit in my schedule. It would also be nice to have some asynchronous content to fill in the gaps between classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Diverse Leadership Training with Room for Skill Expansion"
4/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I appreciate the Hone instructors because they seem to have a good understanding of their course offering. In several classes I've been in, the instructors have been able to proactively offer specific recommendations for additional classes based on feedback and comments from the participants. I also prefer when the classes are smaller with only a dozen or so individuals. It gives you a chance to connect with other individuals who also want to learn and are seeking to improve themselves. Plus, having people from different companies, parts of the world, and backgrounds gives me more perspectives and ideas, which helps open my mind to new possibilities. The diversity of thought in these sessions is really valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I would like the addition of hard skills classes. Some classes aren't offered as frequently. I understand that maybe they are not as popular, but maybe it would be nice to suggest certain times of day for the class or things like that to make it easier to attend if they do open more sessions.

"Empowering Management with Personalized Training"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I liked that the classes were taught by a human instructor, rather than just watching a video and taking a test. The classes I took on building a thriving team culture and leading effective 1:1s were very helpful, and learning how people are happier when they believe their work has value was eye-opening. The suggestions for how to structure 1:1s (relationship building, frustrations, wins, project discussion) were very valuable and have improved their effectiveness. I like that it's personal and in-person, with information that is deep and informative, rather than being surface-level and full of business jargon. I hope to take more in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I think the classes would be better if they were longer. A lot of the classes felt like they didn't have enough time to really go deep enough on the topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hone: Transformative Leadership Training with Unique Interactions"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I like the interactions in the classes and really appreciate the diversity, with people from different companies and roles, from executive perspectives to individual contributors. It's nice to have various perspectives, and even if I've taken a class before, sometimes I'll take it again to experience a different facilitator and receive different information, as facilitators have diverse presentation styles. I find the breakout rooms methodology valuable for more individual sharing time, leading to good conversations tailored to specific needs. I love the interactions with other people in the courses and the opportunities to hear new perspectives. These collaborative experiences and the resulting synergy are really what Hone is all about, bringing to light what's important for each session. Those moments are really exciting and give me something new to think about, which I really appreciate and stands out for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Sometimes the classes have a lot of information presented, and the notes in the learner guide don't always match with the notes on screen. Presenters often go through slides quickly, and as I'm not an auditory learner, I don't catch all the information. It would help if the slides matched the learner guide better or stayed on screen longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Leadership Training with Expert Instructors"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I have really appreciated the quality of the instructors that Hone employs. The breakout/interactive sessions are always fun and impactful in helping me apply what I've learned. I love the variety of courses Hone offers, covering topics like leadership skills, change management, AI, influence, and mindfulness at work. The broad scope of topics and classes, the incredibly knowledgeable and engaging instructors, and the actionable takeaways are great for implementing what I've learned in my day-to-day life. I also love how Nicole, one of the instructors, includes meditation and breath work at the beginning of classes. Additionally, I appreciate the classes focused on mindfulness and burnout, and I hope to see more on self-care and self-development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Would love to see more classes on self development / wellness (to help people become more impactful in their roles). But love the existing Hone courses in this realm! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionized Our Skills Development"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I really like Hone's model of virtual coach-led training sessions that are an hour long and very engaging, which is unique compared to other platforms. The platform aligns well with our core competencies and strategic goals, helping to up level the skills of our staff, especially managers and leaders. Hone effectively provides skills that enable people to work more effectively together during high pressure and conflict situations. The bite-sized lessons are great for introducing new skills andt he interactive nature of the sessions, which involves discussing lessons and application with others, makes learning more likely to stick compared to self-paced options. I also like that Hone is investing in expanding opportunities within AI and helping people understand its safe and effective use. The AI coach feature is valuable for colleagues who prefer not to be in breakouts or have scheduling constraints, allowing them to learn and practice skills like coaching and giving feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

As an Admin, I would like it to be easier to edit learners or add a small number of learners without uploading a CSV. Some staff do not enjoy breakouts with people from other companies. I also think our staff find it hard to navigate and find their commitments and materials from previous classes. That just takes people a little while to get used to.

"Engaging Live Sessions with Valuable Peer Breakouts"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I like the live content. It's not just a webinar where you are sitting and listening. You are actually interacting with other professionals facing similar challenges. I've learned a lot in the breakout sessions where we give each other advice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

They leave me wanting more! Sometimes the instructor leaves it open for people who want to stay a bit longer to ask individual questions. I've taken advantage of that and been able to get an answer to a challenge I I was facing that day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hone Is Solving & How It Benefits Me"
4/5
What do you like best about Hone?

Hone helps develop communication and leadership skills needed to manage cross-functional compliance work. The training provides practical strategies for setting expectations, handling difficult conversations, and maintaining collaboration while addressing deadlines and requirements. This improves accountability, reduces misunderstandings, and supports smoother onboarding processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

The main challenge is scheduling during a deadline-driven compliance role, which can make it difficult to fully focus on sessions. Some content is broad, and more role-specific scenarios and follow-up discussion would help with practical application. The program is valuable, but additional flexibility and customization would improve the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
